Guide: How to Commute to Ayala Malls Circuit Makati (2025)

In an earlier post, I wrote about the Circuit Makati Event Grounds which offers a scenic and relaxing place to jog in the morning when it’s not hosting major outdoor events such as concerts in the city. Circuit Makati Mall is a major destination for people in Makati and surrounding areas because aside from the concerts, there is also a soccer field and a performing arts theater, and of course, a mall. But unlike other malls in Metro Manila, how to commute to circuit makati is not always clear. There’s been plenty of changes throughout the years so I’d like to compile everything together.

Introduction

In this guide, I’d like to share all the ways to commute to circuit makati mall. For the jeeps specifically, we start with common train/bus stations where you might be able to go to easier and we tried to cover routes from multiple directions. Routes will be revisited periodically. If you think there’s a route from a direction that I might have missed, feel free to comment.

How to commute to Circuit Makati by jeep

In general, riding a jeep going to circuit makati is fairly easy. You need to look for jeeps with “PRC” along certain routes in Makati, Manila, and Pasay. PRC stands for the former Philippine Racing Club’s horse racing track where Circuit Makati now stands.

• From Ayala MRT3 Station or One Ayala Terminal (Makati City), walk to Landmark Mall, look for the Zapote jeeps along Landmark’s Makati avenue entrance. Drop off from the jeep on Soute Ave. corner JP Rizal. Head north towards the mall’s main entrance, the direction should be clear from where you are.
• From Guadalupe Market near Guadalupe MRT3 Station (Makati City), take the jeep with JP Rizal/PRC/Guadalupe labels, and stop on South Ave. corner JP Rizal. Head north to towards the mall’s main entrance.
• From Gil Puyat LRT1 Station (Pasay City), take the jeep with the “PRC” label and stop on A. Reyes Ave. corner Hippodromo Drive/Street, there is an Andok’s branch on this corner. Walk through Hippodromo Drive/Street towards Circuit Makati.
• From Quirino LRT1 Station (Manila City), stop on San Andres St., from there look L Guinto – Makati (via San Andres) then stop on Zapote St. corner Kalayaan Ave.. Walk towards Circuit Makati along Zapote Street.

How to commute to Circuit Makati by e-jeep

• E-jeeps to Circuit Makati Mall was relaunched just this year on May 2023.
• From One Ayala Terminal, you can find the e-jeep stop right in-front of the Lawson that is also inside the terminal. From there it’s only a matter waiting for the e-jeep and boarding it. The e-jeep stop in Makati Circuit is already inside the mall. I do want to give out a warning that the number of actual e-jeeps on this route is limited and involves luck especially during rush hour to arrive on time. If you’re in a rush, I highly suggest the jeepney options instead.

How to commute to Circuit Makati by bus

• Although circuit makati has its own bus terminal, there is only one bus currently which is a point-to-point (p2p) between Nuvali Bus Terminal and Circuit Makati. This is one way to commute by bus if you come from Nuvali.
• My recommendation would be going to One Ayala Terminal first or the other starting points above and follow jeep options.
• However, if you ride the Buendia/Gil Puyat bus that goes through Ayala Avenue, you may drop-off on Gil Puyat Ave. corner Chino Roces Ave., take the jeep that goes along Chino Roces Ave. with the “PRC” label and stop on A. Reyes Ave. corner Hippodromo Drive/Street with the Andok’s branch. Walk towards Circuit Makati along Hippodromo Drive/Street.
